@forestfire47 Yes, that’s what it is. And it’s not doing political satire, it’s doing non-Leftist satire. They take hard, on the nose punches at the Right, then pretend to take these pulled jabs at wokeness which in reality is just more criticism of the Right because all these jokes about how wokenss is fake and just virtue signaling are about Vought, a hyper capitalist company, run by rich people, who side with racists and fascists and whitewash movie characters because profits. You even have a not so subtle, anti-union poster from Vought on the wall of one of their old factories.
So even the lame attempts at appearing to go after both sides is a farce and is just more going after the same one side.
Even the choice of race in the characters is overtly racist. In the scene at the conspiracy con, like every extra is white, I’m a show where they force in unrealistic diversity everywhere else, that’s a deliberate choice. Same with the secret meeting of the rich and powerful, everyone is white aside from Sage who is there because tokenism and not part of “them” but to manipulate them, and the soon to be female president who is being set up as a “bad guy who really isn’t bad and has a change of heart and redeems herself”. Because the show will allow for 1 dimensional bad characters who are white but anyone else has to really be good and only acting bad because they were a victim of something.
It’s too overtly political and pushing tired messaging every other show is.
They thought they could do a bait n switch by not making it so obvious till season 3 and now they’re mad they’re being called out.
